Black and White (and Grey): 3 Ways to Wear It

Image

The mix of black and white is a graphic look that is simple and clean, and a huge statement in fall/winter fashion.  It’s sticking around for spring, so let these looks inspire you for now and later.  So easy to do yourself by mixing solid pieces for a colorblock look, or mixing your black and white stripes or prints with dark accents to keep things edgy.  The combo of black and white is surely not a new concept, but the addition of grey adds an element of sleek sophistication.

Basic Yet Bold: Those leather (like) leggings that have been a go-to for us this season are a perfect platform to build your black and white look-with-an-edge from.  Pair with a simple classic white tee (or blouse) and a grey 3rd piece (blazer, moto jacket, coat, sweater), and this outfit can be the base for endless combinations.  Here we’ve featured a daytime look, but this can easily transform into night by changing shoes, accessories and outerwear piece.

With a Print: For those that shy away from prints, a black and white version is a safe bet to try it.  Mixed with a basic black pant, legging or even dark wash denim it can make a statement without being too loud.   Our favorite outerwear piece this season, the moto jacket, gives automatic edge to any look.

Dressed Up:  A classic print in a dress, like this black/white or grey/white animal print is a classic (love it when trends combine!).  Wear with with a structured blazer and heels for the office, or that moto jacket and booties for a night out.
